I'm with David here. Simulators/emulators don't bring you very far. As far as layout (& css) is concerned, most of the testing can be done using Chrome and Safari, as most devices use Webkit based browsers (probably better Safari release builds, as Chrome has a much faster release cycle, esp compared to the default browser included with Android devices… cough cough upgrade path ?). Just resize your window to evaluate your layout at various viewport dimensions. The added bonus is that you can use the build in developer tools (Webkit Inspector) to troubleshoot. Where Simulators of all kind fail completely is testing interaction design. There are so many pages out there that are very hard to use, simply because it is near impossible to click on links with fatty fingers - the touchable area is simply too small. Remember that a mouse pointer is very precise device with a _small_ tip. And that is only one issue. Nothing beats the real device for that.
